I did crap. We hadn't covered either of the questions in class...my teacher is ****.
I had it - worst exam ever :P Decided to do the ethnicity question, luckily I sat it in January and got a C so isn't too disastrous!

It was horrible! I don't think i've done HORRENDOUS, but I think it was the worst combination of questions possible.
I did ethnicity too. What did you write about?

Eek I can't even remember, I hadn't revised the media question, and had only briefly read over ethnicity! Think I rambled on about Gilroy and Lea and Young a fair bit, and mentioned Phillips and Bowling too.

I've heard of them from reading my Sociology textbook in a biology lesson, but I couldn't remember what they said, so I just rambled on about being stopped and searched more and stuff.
Sounds like you will have done ok :smile:

I was so confused with the ethnicity question, just wrote a little about Cicourel, Lea and Young, Islamophobia, rastafarianism before I went on to talk about gender related theories(feminists), class based theories(marxists), physiological based theories(Lombrosso) as criticisms of ethnicity-crime relationships....
